Obermann--M Moore interview 7-07

The vid below is something we mulled over at the time of the release of the movie "Sicko". Most of the crew has seen the movie Sicko and a few related flicks like "Sick around the World"

Since the release of the movie, public interest in healthcare reform has waxed and waned. Single payer is off the table for some in power. Note: chair of the senate committee had single payer folks arrested, that is worthy of a third world banana republic leader with his cry for "more police". How about Mr senator: "More real leadership"?

It appears that some in congress are proud of their fawning sycophant roles as toady of insurance, hmos and drug companies. Wall Street folks will certainly reward your efforts with a few crumbs from the "master's table". What wonderful "servants of the people" we have in congress.

And these folks actually have no clue why so many of the public are pessimistic about the leaders and institutions of the land. Rocket scientists they are not for whom among us would trust the motives of these folks in light of events (or lack of them in some cases) .

This vid hopefully renews the spark in some folks and hopefully acts as a refresher:
